64 -64 Paranoia
Su Lu: “…”
She didn’t want to remain silent, but she really didn’t know what to say!
Over the years, she and Gu Xin had always been polite to each other in front of their parents, also to avoid causing each other too much trouble.
So, although both of them knew there was no feeling between them,
to their parents it might not seem that way.
Based on their previously courteous interactions, their parents might have thought it wasn’t impossible that they had a profound relationship.
Actually, thinking about it now, putting on such a respectful front in front of their parents wasn’t a good thing, unfair to Chen Yaxi, and dishonest to their parents.
But back then, it certainly was the easiest way to handle things.
Su Lu had thought that after the divorce procedures, Gu Xin had already explained everything to his parents, but now it seemed that was obviously not the case.
If that was the case, it was quite normal for Xue Xiaolan to be dissatisfied with Chen Yaxi.
A woman who had destroyed her son’s marriage and even forced a daughter-in-law she liked to step aside!
“Aunt, the situation between Gu Xin and me isn’t as simple as just forgiving him.
I’m not in a position to discuss the specifics with you, it would be more appropriate for Gu Xin to tell you himself.”
Su Lu pondered over her wording for a moment, trying to phrase her response as tactfully as possible.
But since Xue Xiaolan had taken the initiative to come today, of course, she was also emotional.
She said angrily, “I don’t want to hear it from him!
The moment he opens his mouth, he only speaks highly of that woman, praising how good she is.
If she’s that good, would she have destroyed someone’s marriage?
Would she have resorted to using a child as leverage?
I merely spoke a few words about that woman, and he turned his back on me, and even took her abroad for a vacation.
Is he avoiding me?
He’s the one in the wrong, and he thinks he has the right to be?!”
So that was why Gu Xin took Chen Yaxi abroad for a vacation.
Su Lu thought to herself that Gu Xin really didn’t handle this smartly.
His mother already had a poor impression of Chen Yaxi, and him constantly speaking well of her in front of his mother was only going to backfire…
Su Lu couldn’t agree with her or appraise Chen Yaxi’s character, so she could only helplessly offer a smile.
Xue Xiaolan’s eyes had reddened, which left Su Lu feeling somewhat at a loss.
She gripped Su Lu’s hand tightly, pleading, “Xiaolu, can’t you give Axin another chance?
Which man doesn’t make mistakes?
Especially in our circle, if you can’t tolerate the slightest fault, you might as well not live.”
Su Lu really didn’t like hearing this and couldn’t agree either.
Perhaps she still hadn’t grown up, in her heart she still wanted to hold on to that purity in relationships.
“Aunt, Gu Xin and I no longer have feelings for each other.” Su Lu could only advise, “He and Chen Yaxi have a very good relationship, and if he can be happy, then I am willing to wish him well.
You also shouldn’t insist, don’t let this matter damage your relationship with your son.”
“I don’t care!
As long as I am here, that woman won’t enter the Gu Family’s door!
The Gu Family will only have one daughter-in-law, and that’s you, Su Lu!” Xue Xiaolan stated.
Su Lu didn’t know what to do for a moment and could only continue to comfort her in a soft voice.
Xue Xiaolan wouldn’t leave, stubbornly staying put as if trying to wear Su Lu down, remaining there.
Su Lu felt helpless, all the way until it was time to leave work in the afternoon.
“Aunt, I’m off work now.
Let me take you downstairs.”
Xue Xiaolan stood up, her eyes darting about before she said, “I didn’t arrange for a car, Xiaolu can you drive me home?”
Su Lu really wanted to refuse, but looking into Xue Xiaolan’s eyes…
and indeed, driving her home wasn’t too difficult a task.
Su Lu sighed softly, “Okay.”
On the drive to the Gu Family’s house, Xue Xiaolan kept steadfastly making her case and trying to convince Su Lu to forgive Gu Xin and not give up on their relationship.
Su Lu, on the other hand, kept emphasizing that she and Gu Xin no longer had feelings for each other.

Xue Xiaolan then started to employ indirect persuasion, suggesting that feelings could be developed even if there weren’t any…
once someone became obsessed, it seemed that no argument could persuade them.
Fortunately, the journey had its limits, and she finally dropped Xue Xiaolan off at the Gu Family’s residence.
As soon as the car reached the gate, the black iron gate’s security system automatically opened, and gatekeeper Uncle Zhang greeted her with a kind smile, “Mrs.
Gu, long time no see.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhang,” Su Lu said as she drove inside.
Xue Xiaolan invited her to stay for dinner.
Originally, Su Lu wanted to decline, but Xue Xiaolan pleaded with a pitiful expression, saying if she didn’t stay, Xue Xiaolan would only have her cat for company during her meal.
Su Lu had no choice but to stay for dinner.
Before leaving, she still made a point to assert her position.
But it seemed that Xue Xiaolan had already sunk into paranoia and wasn’t really listening.
She loaded two baskets of fruit into Su Lu’s car and urged her to come over for meals more often.
Only after Su Lu drove the car away from the Gu Family’s residence did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She parked the car on the roadside outside the Gu Family’s place before picking up her phone.
She didn’t even bother with text messages and directly made a voice call.
She waited for the call to be answered.
So much so that she hadn’t noticed a nondescript small car parked not far away.
In this residential area around the Gu Family’s home, it was quite unlikely to see such a low-end brand of car.
And Su Lu hadn’t noticed either, across the road, a black luxury car was sitting silently there…
The voice call rang for quite a while before it was finally picked up.
Gu Xin was on the other end, and he sounded somewhat tired.
“Hello, Xiaolu.”
Su Lu had been prepared for a barrage of pointed questions once the call connected, but upon hearing Gu Xin’s voice, she held back.
She only asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, what’s up?” Gu Xin asked.
Su Lu hesitated for a moment, then said, “Your mother…
came to the company to see me today.”
“…” Gu Xin fell silent at the other end.
Su Lu heard him take a deep breath in and exhale it slowly; he was smoking.
“Haven’t you talked to her about our situation?” Su Lu carefully asked, sensing that something was off.
“Did you tell her?” Gu Xin fired back, and it was clear that his tone was not good.
“I didn’t say anything.
I think it’s more appropriate for you to address it.
After all, I don’t really have a place to stand,” Su Lu spoke sensibly.
But her words seemed to have struck a nerve with Gu Xin.
Unable to control his emotions, he replied with a bad tone, “Yeah, you really don’t have a place to stand, so it’s more suitable for me to speak up, as if this whole thing from beginning to end were entirely my affair, as if you never participated in this marriage at all.”
Su Lu pursed her lips.
Most of the time, she managed her emotions very well, probably because she didn’t care much, so she remained calm, rational, and subdued.
Now she replied very calmly, “I guess you’re not in a good mood; let’s talk when you’ve calmed down a bit.”
Gu Xin must have been under a lot of stress recently because he spoke with a lack of control at the other end, “Why has it all become my fault now?
Xiao Xi’s fault now?
You didn’t want this marriage from the start, and you had someone else you liked too.
Why has it all become my fault?
Isn’t this a mutual fault?”
“Yes, so whatever you need me to cooperate with, I will fully comply, but let’s wait until you’ve calmed down, I…
ah!”
A loud bang startled Su Lu into suddenly screaming.
Gu Xin instantly became calm, yet anxious, “Xiaolu?
Xiaolu!
What happened?!”
